Khama Unveils His Grand Plan

A new town will be built at Pandamatenga, specifically to turn agricultural products into finished goods. The long abandoned Maun Abattoir will be revived to can beef, while a rail network linking Botswana to Mozambique, South Africa and Namibia has been mooted.

The youth have topped Khama's agenda in his second State of the Nation Address. A rainbow of programmes have been announced to assist the youth to contribute in driving the economy of the country.  Perhaps the most welcome relief is the announcement that housing schemes will be put in place for the poor, the youth and first time employees, while Botswana Housing Corporation tenants will now have the rare chance to buy their rented houses through tenant purchase scheme.
